Netanyahu Apologizes to Lapid for Delay; Trump Announces Severe Iran Sanctions

Netanyahu called Lapid to apologize for keeping him waiting before their security briefing yesterday, which led Lapid to leave. Separately, Trump announced in a late-night statement what he described as "the toughest economic operation ever imposed on a country," targeting Iran. He warned that any country allowing its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide Iran with support will face severe economic consequences, stating "Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, ship registrations, shell companies — all of it must stop now."
